What else can I help you with?
What planet having three satellites sharing the same orbit?
Saturn has at least two natural satellites (moons) sharing the same orbit. There may be three altogether, but I only know of two.
Why do all planets orbit around the Sun in the same major direction?
Gravity
Why do the planets orbit the sun in the same direction?
It has to do with the formation of the solar system. Since all of the matter that condensed into what makes the solar system bodies was spinning in the same direction while coming together, it would have taken a drastic event to cause one of the bodies to orbit in a different direction.
Do satellites move in the same pattern as planets and stars?
Obviously. Since they move in an ellipse around the Earth (or other central body), they change direction all the time. The only way NOT to change direction would be to move in a straight line; satellites don't do that.
Do all planets and satellites lie the same gravitational layer?
Do all planets and satellites lie on the same gravitational layer?

All comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets?
False. While most comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets (counterclockwise when viewed from above Earth's North Pole), there are exceptions. Some comets have retrograde orbits, meaning they orbit in the opposite direction of the planets.
Does dbs also known as direct broadcast satellite such as directv and dishtv orbit in a geosynchronous orbit?
Yes, the satellites orbit in a geosynchronous orbit, as with most all communications satellites. (Some exceptions are satellites such as the global positioning satellites.)
Do All planets in your solar system orbit the sun in the same direction?
no
Why are there many satellites which move in different directions and speeds which will eventually crashwhy can't they move at the same speed and direction?
Satellites are placed into different orbits to serve various purposes like communication, weather monitoring, and scientific research. Each orbit has specific requirements, and therefore satellites need to move at different speeds and directions to fulfill their designated tasks. Collisions can occur due to the vast number of satellites in space and the complexities of orbital mechanics, making it impractical to have all satellites move at the same speed and direction.
Do all space satellites stay in the thermosphere?
No. That only applies to low Earth orbit. Geostationary satellites orbit beyond it.
Why do all planets orbit around the Sun in the same major direction?
Gravity
Some satellites orbit every 24 hours if you could see this satellite from the ground with a telescope what would you notice?
You would see the satellite in the same direction all the time. The satellite is supposed to move around the Earth at the same speed as Earth's rotation.
Are all satellites moons?
No, not all satellites are moons. Satellites are objects that orbit a planet or other celestial body, while moons specifically refer to natural satellites that orbit planets. Artificial satellites, such as those used for communication or scientific purposes, are not considered moons.
Which Satellite has an orbit which passes the equator?
All satellites pass the equator. Twice every orbit.
Do all the planets in the solar system rotate in the same direction as they orbit the sun?
Yes. All the planets orbit the sun in the same direction. Although, they do not orbit at the same speed, they all orbit in the same direction. The terrestrials (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) orbit at a much faster rate due to their distance from the sun. The Jovians (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) circle the sun much slower because they are much further away.
Is the geosynchronous satellites above the equator is follow an elliptical orbit?
All satellites follow an elliptical orbit - they are darn close to circular, but even a circle is an ellipse.
